"I am extremely sorry for this, Miss Anna. I had not known that he was indeed an important guest of yours. I thought he was actually just causing a nuisance. I mean, look at him, anyone would think he was not here for serious business." Mr. Edwin apologised."It was just a misunderstanding. I am sorry" he said to her"To think that you had come to seek a loan from the bank, Mr. Edwin? You of all people, need not discriminate or throw shades at anyone simoly because you are well dressed, and can afford a suit from the last two seasons Fashion week's collection " Anna said sneeringly.She glared at him as he cowered now, bowing his head humbly."I am really sorry, Miss Anna. I know it was wrong of me. I am sorry, really sorry." He pleaded with her."I know you are, and so am I. I am sorry that I cannot do business with you or your family anymore. Please kindly leave the premises before I ask the same Security personnels you called to see you out." She threatened him."Miss Anna please.
Anna listened to James explain everything, from Sarah's company's problems to the issue they had with Peter Causey."He even went ahead to stop the United Bank from having anything to do with Capitalize Escort. He has hands in the bank and so, the Manager refused to hand the loan over to her. Now everything is Kind of frozen. I need you to help me out on this one, and issue a loan out to Capitalize Escort " he said."How much are we talking about here?" Anna asked looking at him seriously."We need at least fifty million dollars to get her business off the ground again. But I want you to offer her more than that. Fifty million dollars might just clear them if the debts they are in, but I need Sarah to sti have some money left to get the Company running again." James explained to her."I see, well, a hundred million dollars should do for that. But as you know, I do not have a sole veto to issue out that kind of money, James." She said to him."I know" James sighed and shook his head. I
"So, what did your grand father say?" Anna asked James"What does he have to say? Nothing new. He wants me to come home" James replied."You know you can't hate him forever" Anna whispered to James."I don't hate him, Anna. I just blame him for what happened. They are two different things." James replied."I understand and I just feel like maybe you are being too hard on him. He is much older now than he was when everything happened. If you ask me, I would say it is worth handling maturedly this time." She suggested."I don't know about that, Anna. He may have been able to force me to sign the inheritance papers, but that is as far as it gets" James replied.Ann sighed and patted his shoulder. "This is all for the best." She said to him."Yeah, Sarah is more important to me right now." James said stiffly."Well, Congratulations once again. This is everything that you need to make your life different." She commented."Yeah" he replied with a nod. "But hey...""I still wish to keep my i
James hurried off from Common Bank back to Capitalize Escort so he could pick up Sarah. He stepped out of the car and rushed into the building, hoping that she had not been through yet.He greeted the receptionist and asked her if Sarah had been done yet."No, Miss Brown has not come down yet" the young lady replied."Alright"James nodded. He decided to get a cup of coffee, and then, take a seat there at the reception.While he was on his way to get coffee, he ran into his former Boss, Mr. Raymond Colt, the Mangaer of Crystal's Angels, a low budget Escort Company.James had worked with him as a security personnel, and that was where he got his experience to work with Capitalize Escort.Mr. Raymond had a rather grim expression on his face and he looked really upset.Mr. Raymond had come to Capitalize Escort to pitch a business proposal to them, but had been rejected because he did not pass the review.Sarah was not interested in doing business with them, and on seeing James, he thought
James picked out his phone and dialed Anna's number amidst Mr. Raymond's rants."Anna, I need you to help me out with something here. Put a call across to the owner of Crystal's Angels Escort Services. I want her to know that her Manager is unsuitable for the position he is manning." James said angrily into his phone.Mr. Raymond shook his head with laughter as he mocked James for thinking he could fake a call to scare him."Oh my goodness, you must be desperate to think you can fool anyone with that....is that a phone? What is that?" Mr. Raymond mocked James while pointing to the phone in his hand."What is going on?" Anna asked rubbing her forehead. Although she had warned James severally about this lifestyle he had resorted to living, he still refused to listen to her."He is being verbally violent and improper at a business establishment. You can tell his Boss that he just ruined her chances at doing business with Capitalize Escorts." James replied.Anna rubbed her forehead again
James opened the back door for Sarah to get in. He stood with his back straightened, and his face upturned.Sarah glanced at his stiffened frame, and a pang of guilt stabbed at her chest. What was wrong with him anyway? She thought to herself.She let out a sigh as she settled into the back seat. Her eyes watched him secretly as he got into the driver's seat. He locked the doors and wound up the tinted glass windows so that he could turn on the Air conditioning just like she liked it.Her face furrowed into a frown as she appraised the situation she had just found him in with Mr. Raymond. She was certain she had seen Raymond begging him for forgiveness."What did you do or say to Mr. Raymond that had him all in a frenzy just now?" She asked ignoring his crude manner.She saw James glance up at her through the rearview mirror but stayed quiet instead. He repeated his look twice, aware that she was still gazing at him."What makes you think I said anything to him?" James asked with a ra
"Okay, I'm sorry, I don't understand what is going on? How did you get my information and who is issuing the money? Is it a loan or what?" Anna asked in a state of total shock and confusion."Well, Ma'am the orders came directly from the top, I would like to confirm some details of yours, Ma'am," the representative who spoke with her said."Is everything alright, Ma'am?" James asked glancing at her from the rearview mirror.She raised her forefinger at him, signaling him to hold on momentarily."Okay, go ahead," Sarah said to the girl, praying and hoping it was not some prank of Peter Causey's to trick her and dupe her of more money than she had left."What is your full name?" the girl asked."Sarah Brown...Johnson" she added the last part in a whisper. She had never once said James'surname to hers, but to seek loans, she did that because it showed the establishments that she was responsible as well as trustworthy.It was absurd, yet, all the same, that was the structure of the world.
Sarah signed the papers that were handed to her by Rebecca and watched her move around the office, stapling, photocopying, and faxing what was needed at that moment.Rebecca regained her seat as soon as she was done mailing out Sarah's information back to the cashiers and to the Manager."I have sent the order to the cashiers downstairs and back to the Manager. In less than fifteen minutes, you should receive an alert from your Company's Bank." Rebecca assured her."Wow, thank you, thank you so much," Sarah said to Rebecca and followed James outside.As soon as she was outside the door, her phone beeped, signaling her that she had just received a text message. She opened the message and saw the alert of one hundred million dollars deposited into her account by Common Bank.Sarah squealed excitedly and jumped into James unconsciously as she rejoiced."Oh my goodness! It worked!" She squealed outJames held her steady in his arms, releasing his grip on her gently as their eyes met, and
